Over three years of consistent use and still working great...
I don't normally leave reviews, but it's frustrating not knowing whether items like this will fit your car or not. So, here are the details: -Installed this mirror in a 2006-2012 (3rd generation) Toyota Rav4 and it fit perfect on the stock mounting bracket. In fact, mounting the mirror was the easiest part. For what it's worth, I believe the Camry and Corolla use the same "keystone" type mounting bracket, but I'm not certain. -Mirror comes with enough cable to run across the top of your headliner (at the top of the windshield), down the A-pillar and to the floor behind the glove box. This was the perfect amount of wire for my purposes. Your camera should come with the rest of the video wire you'll need to take the video feed from the backup camera to the mirror input behind your glove box. -Paired it with a Chuanganzhuo backup camera that I also purchased here on Amazon. -The full setup looks like it was there from the factory. -The mirror works great so far. The screen is bright and for now I've been able to keep it on the lowest brightness setting with no visibility issues. No complaints--especially for the price and free shipping. -Would be nice if the mirror was auto-dimming, but with tinted windows it's not really an issue. Again, for the price it works great. Will update in the future if I have any problems with it. For now, five stars. EDIT 11/30/15--I've been using this mirror (with a backup camera) for the past 6 months and I still have no regrets on the purchase. Colors are still bright and picture is more than sufficient for my needs. My other car has the backup camera displayed in-dash on the navigation screen and I have to say that I much prefer this in-mirror setup to the in-dash setup. Will continue to update if I have issues in next 6 months. UPDATE 6/23/16--It's now been over a year since I installed this mirror in my Rav4. It continues to work flawlessly. No degradation in picture quality and no malfunctions to report. I'm still very happy with the unit and still consider it superior to the factory set up in my other car in terms of display brightness, color rendering, and response time when the car is placed in reverse. Great product! UPDATE 5/17/17--Coming up on two years with this mirror and I still have zero complaints or issues to report. The mirror still works perfectly. I would still recommend without reservation. UPDATE 4/6/18--Quickly approaching three years with this mirror and it still works perfectly. No image distortion or dead pixels. No complaints. UPDATE 10/22/18--Over 30,000 miles and three years of near-daily use and the mirror and all wiring that came with the mirror are still working perfectly. Continued 5-star rating from me. UPDATE 03/26/20--Coming up on 5 years and 50,000 miles since installation. Still own the car I installed this in and the mirror still works perfectly every time I back up. Continued 5 stars.
